Traverse City Wedding Photographer . Bree + Bill

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

I was so thankful when Bree and Bill contacted me to photograph their wedding in Traverse City. They picked a perfect location to host the ceremony and reception...The Boathouse in Bower's Harbor on Mission Peninsula. A charming little restaurant nestled on West Grand Traverse Bay that offers some of the best sunsets around. The setting was perfect and the day did not disappoint. Beautiful blue skies, a jovial crowd of family and friends, and a couple that is so adorably cute with one another it makes me want to fall in love all over again. Bree and Bill. These two were meant to be together. It took them a minute to find one another, but it was only a matter of time until fate joined these two. Bree and Bill. I looked in Webster's 2011 edition of the dictionary and found their picture next to 'happily ever after'....

The day started off at Salon Verve, voted best salon in Grand Traverse County, where they pride themselves in the use of organic and non-toxic products. What a fab way to kick off the wedding day...

I love this one. Bill and Bree (upstairs getting dressed) needed to discuss a few things pre-wedding. When I came down to deliver a message, I found Bill respectfully tucked back away from the stairs so as not to catch a glimpse of his bride before the wedding. I saw his reflection in the mirror and snapped. LOVE!

This was my favorite part of the whole ceremony. Well besides Bill's vows. And Bree's vows. And...well it all was beautiful, but I ESPECIALLY loved the sand. I love how it represents the unification of the three of them (Bree, Bill, and Bree's handsome son Tyler)... I love how they made a point to include Tyler in the ceremony...

The supper club. While photographing this incredibly good looking group, curiosity got the best of me and I had to ask what the heck a supper club was. Each month, a couple hosts a dinner party at their house and all the other couples come over for supper. How fun! Quick shout out to this group...if you ever have open enrollment, please let my husband and I know! We can cook (translation: my husband can cook) and we have a good wine collection we are willing to share. Not begging or anything.....PLEASE!!?? :D Seriously, who wouldn't want to hang out with this fun group!
